That lead singer is friggin amazing. My gosh what control and his tone is so welcoming. Great vibrato too.

[AdlinLing]

Whenever someone sings "Take On Me" that's their take on Take On Me

I just LOVE hearing Bryan get to open up on his baritone part!! This is PHENOMENAL! I also am so happy that they make us wait for the lead to actually take that note up the octave until the last verse! Makes you stay interested!!

Discovered this video yesterday.
Since then I passed my Latin exam, ate a pizza and watched this performance about a hundred times.

2:44 is THE most amazing part, when it sounds like Dan is singing "take me, me", yet his mouth doesn't move. Oh. My. Goodness. (That's clever arr skills!)

This quartet's hairstyles change more often than Australia's Prime Minister.

After Hours are amazing. Had the pleasure of singing with them once.

Their cover of Rainbow Connection is beyond stellar.

That bit of vibrato by the lead at the very end felt like a bird flying gently away. It's the little things. :)

[StormChasersofOhio]

I could see Newfangled Four doing this song, but obviously in a VERY different way lol

As a huge long term fan of a-ha since they first came out, I was scared to watch this. However, being a Barbershopper, I just had to. So glad I did. Good work guys. Respectfully done ✅

Admittedly this took me a good 40 or so seconds to get into, because I love the original so much, but once I got into it, it's a whole different song! Fantastic arrangement and singing.

[Bowling_Dude]

DUDE! Drew's stubble looks SO GOOD!

[josephquiroz]

Another fantastic Dan Wessler arrangement.

[oliviah]

so crazy, one of them was my music teacher in elementary school. they are phenomenal

[Zappers]

I sing take on me with my aca group and I gotta tell you, hitting that high note and getting the crowd to scream for you is the best feeling in the world

[jenoloverr]

they were one of the teaching quartets at the harmony explosion i attended and when they performed this at our show i cried a bit not gonna lie. these men are so funny and talented, i hope to see them again one day!

[PyrozPlayground]

Good lord.. why am I tearing up right now? :') This is gorgeous!

[JeremyKGover]

Long been a fan of the original. I remember it being one of the first music videos I ever watched on MTV. Despite that 30+ year history with the song, I think I like this version better. Absolutely unbelievable.

[bp.irineos]

I keep expecting Main Street to come out in boater hats singing "these will be the good old songs our contest will allow"

[PurpleLittlePup]

I'm so glad I was able to go to the Barbershop Harmony Society Midwinter Convention and getting to see this performance in real life ❤
